Subject: ZIP cartridges to be cheaper ??
Date: Sun, 10 May 1998 02:33:00 GMT

Hey there.

Is there any evidence to suggest that ZIP100 cartridges will become a lot cheaper eventually.

I am considering buying the (more expensive) CDR or CDR-W because of the lower storage price. Anyone else thinking like me?

And while I have your attention, will a CDR-W re-write over previously burned stuff, or just write after the last point you burned ?? (Is that all multi-session means?)

--TS


CD-R's are dirt cheap, and can only hurt Zip disc tie ratios. There are many other users who think exactly like the one above. And this is Iomega's worst nightmare.
